That business trip to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands started for me with a small thing. I remembered the booking first, not the beach. I only paid 1 dollar at the beginning. On the website I saw this option called One-Dollar Freeze. I was busy with my schedule and meetings and I did not want a big hold on my credit card at once. So I read the simple note. It said I could pay just 1 dollar to lock the car and the rest would be charged automatically before the rental started and there was no interest. For a business traveler like me who often has a full billing cycle, this sounded very good. About two weeks before the trip I chose an ACE location in St Thomas and booked a Nissan Kicks. It was automatic with four doors and five seats. It was enough for my meetings and did not look too flashy. On the confirm page it showed I only needed to pay 1 dollar now. I did not fully believe it at first. Before I paid I checked the amount again. It really was just 1 dollar. The message from my bank also showed 1 dollar only. A few days before I flew out I suddenly remembered the booking again. I opened my card bill and saw that the rest of the rental fee was already charged. The timing felt right. It was not too late to make me nervous and not too early to block my limit for no reason. When I arrived in St Thomas I went to the ACE counter around midday on March 5. The staff only asked for my confirmation and my license. The process was simple and I got the car quickly. While I was driving the Nissan Kicks around the island I sometimes thought about this 1 dollar thing. If I did not use this way to book, my cards during that period would feel much tighter. With this plan I locked the car easily at the start and then the payment finished by itself later. I did not see any extra interest or strange fees on my bill. When I returned the car around midday on March 12 the whole rental felt very clear on the money side. For me the most relaxed part was that I did not need to worry about when to pay. This One-Dollar Freeze gave me less credit card pressure and saved me some mental work on this business trip.
